The monkeys paw will surely curl when they also ban students from attending the March for Life in Ottawa right?
When I was in school my school sent us every year pitching it as a free trip to Ottawa.

Yeah I remember when they rolled that out… it does not give me hope for the future of privacy.
Canada needs to really ramp up our privacy laws, I’m not crazy about GDPR specifically, but there needs to be something more substantial here.
Correct

I love stories like this
Growing up in northern Ontario my dad used to read us poetry, with a family favourite being The Cremation of Sam McGee by Robert Service.
In 2009 they found the wreck of the A J Goddard on Lake Laberge (also using a fish finder) which sank just a three years before the poem was written. At the time my brother and I were excited thinking it was the same boat as in the poem, but later I learned the poem is based on an cremation in the engine of a different wrecked ship. It was very fun speculating though! You never really think of how dangerous those boats were.
Another interesting bit of trivia is that Parks Canada actually owns (manages?) two shipwrecks in the Arctic, the HMS Terror and the Erebus, which were only discovered in 2016 and 2014 respectively. Inuit oral stories and legends actually resulted in the discovery of the wrecks 170 years later, it’s a very interesting story.

Hey boss, I’m logging this ticket as tech debt. We need to take this on to hit our marketing deadline, and as soon as the project is over we need two scrum cycles to resolve it.
Two years later…
This ticket has been open forever, can we just delete it since nobody is ever going to clean this up? It’s messing up our velocity metric.
I would go with the bulbs
The fixtures are nice but they can have high failure rates and are more difficult to replace, as you have to replace the whole unit.
Bulbs on the other hand are easy to replace if they fail, they’re standardized so anyone can walk to the store and pick up an A19 60W equivalent.

Nothing is more conservative than selling off Canadian interests to foreign companies.
stating that, out of one million applicants over the last ten years, three in four gave up due to red tape and an application process that can take months to complete.
They should bring back that thing where you get drunk and find a shilling in your pocket and papers that you’re now property of the Royal Navy. It only slightly contributed to several major wars.

I did address that though. This isn’t stripping and removing rights.
If they can find accommodation then they can use it, but if they can’t then they simply don’t get to live in the hospital indefinitely.
My wife’s grandmother is in LTC and her family visits every day, and they constantly have to raise issues to the home, and to their credit they have been improving based on that. Not everyone has an advocate like that, so I’m not going to say the LTC system is great, it needs work and oversight, and I really would like to see where the money goes because the staff are exhausted.
But yes, they are designed for that. wife’s grandma has issues which have evolved from needing occasional nurse check-ins to make sure she had her meds to needing help getting up and using the washroom, needing to be rotated in bed, pretty much full time care. The home shes in suggested it was time to move her up a floor with the next level of care because the staff on her current floor weren’t equipped for it. It’s much better there now where the system is set up for her needs.
I know that’s just an example of one in a home that it took a couple years to get her into.
It’s complicated.
Not medically able to care for yourself is not the same as not mentally competent to make decisions.
The government is saying find a place or we’ll find I’ve for you, their not saying you can’t choose or taking away any rights. They’re just saying you can’t live in the hospital and occupy hospital rooms which are in shortage right now.
Seniors who can’t independently care for themselves and who don’t actually need acute care anymore.
And aren’t they getting institutionalized either way? They can’t live independently anymore, so do they live in the hospital forever?
It doesn’t feel nice but I don’t think it’s fair to live in the hospital when there are homes designed for the specific care levels instead. I think the LTC system needs reform, but this feels lesser of two evils.
She’s on an allergy diet, so no treats, but I’ll give her some chin scratches which are her favourite
I was expecting this to be real spiderwebs
One of my cat will stick here head into cobwebs and gobble up the spiders. She makes a disgusting noise doing it, but she loves doing it.
We don’t have serious poisonous spiders here, so is probably fine.
Is there evidence of this happening?
And if so, I think I would just plug it into an old router via ethernet with no external connectivity.
